strawberry yogurt muffins

Friday, June 24, 2011

I never want to paint a picture that my life is all dandelions and rainbows. I have bad weeks. This week was one of them. I wore myself too thin and feel pretty burnt out. To top it off Max is teething, miserable and running a low grade fever.

Sooooo anywhoo about the strawberries. There is a fresh strawberry stand by my house and I decided a frozen strawberry daiquiri sounded pretty fantastic. I was also desperately craving carbs...so i stopped and picked up a flat. SO that is how the strawberry yogurt muffin was born.

They look so yummy Lindsay. I never think about doing Strawberry Muffins because luckily both of my kids love fresh strawberries and they get eaten quicker than I can use them in baking. It's just coming into strawberry season now here and they're just beautiful. I live in a strawberry growing area and we have a "Strawberry Festival" every year, which is always a good day out. We've got quite a few 'pick your own' farms which I'm going to take the kids to. I'm sure more will go in their mouths than the bucket! LOL

Hope next week is a better week for you and Max gets through his teething. (It's all a distant memory for me now but it wasn't so good at the time. This too shall pass.)

So sorry to hear your weekend wasn't the best! Those muffins look like the perfect cure to a not-so-great week though! They look amazing. And I am so impressed with your food photography skills! These could be out of a Barefoot Contessa cookbook - they look sooo good!

Those muffins look super delish!I'm saddened to read about your week.I've been having a few rough ones myself recently. It's hard because there's not one thing to complain about (and thus fix). It's just a general weariness. But I think Strawberry Muffins would help. Be my neighbor?

Oh my word, they look delicious! I'm sorry you've had a bad week! I know how it feels and I wish you a much better next week! Teething is horrible for baby and mum too, I hope its not causing too much distress. At very least, the muffins may help!

What fantastic looking muffins. I love strawberries. I have a sweet treat linky party going on at my blog till Monday night and I'd love it if you'd come by and link your muffins up. http://sweet-as-sugar-cookies.blogspot.com/2011/06/sweets-for-saturday-23.html

sorry you had a rough week - i think sometimes those relaxing happy moments when you get to eat warm strawberry muffins are often what you have to look back on to make you smile - hope this week is better

ps. those are so not my abs i might workout but i love sweets too much :)

I really love all your recipes...have been trying so many of them...and have been passing them on to my Mom who is now making more healthy snacks for my dad :) So glad I found your blog on pininterest!!

Hi Lindsay. Wondering if you have tried this recipe with any other types of flour; coconut, almond meal, brown rice? I was hoping to try these muffins, but I'm looking to cut out wheat in hopes of better skin. I used 1/2 cup coconut flour and increased to 4 egg whites. Also used Xylitol instead of sugar. Might have to make the recipe with your ingredients to see how they should taste. They look delicious!

I love your site! Quick question: I just attempted to make these but substituted raspberries. I'm not sure what I did wrong, but I wanted to check to see if it was 1 tbsp of baking soda and 2 tbsp of coconut oil? Thanks!
